Facts from History.

William the Conquerer originated
the curfew Eell, which was ruug at
eight o'clock in the evening, to warn
the people to put out their fires and
candcs-a law made with the good
intention of preventing the terrible
conlagrltlor' that often happened in
the towns, when so m.ch wood was
used in building.
During the rr'sn Of william the
Conqnerer, the absurd mode Of trial
by ordeal, winch had becn in general
use among the Sayons, WAS diseon.
tnurl, and the Norman fashion Of
settling legal differences by single com
lat Was brought into England
IN the reigu of William Rufus WAS
introduced the fashion Of wearing
shoes with long points, turned up be
lore and fastened to the knee with
chain. The clergy enleavorci by their
Preaching to abolish this ridiculous
CUSTOM but the People still persisted
IN wearing long PORTS to their shoes,
in spite Of all opposition,
Before the Conquest, snrn&Ecs were
not used in England; bat the Norman 3
adopted q second name by way Of dis
tnctioi, and is usually expressed eth.
er some personal quality, as Rufus the
Red, or indicated some post at court,
or was the name Of the family estate,
in which cas-: de" was pretixal.
In the reign OF Henry l., when the
rents were dus, the king made what
was called "a progress through his
estates, accompanied by a train Of no.
bles, knights, sr,'!res, and domestIcs Of
all sorts, as cooks confcctloners, tallors,
"arbers, and others, who travelled on
horseback or in vci" clumsy vehicles.
I've progress WAS r.iale for this reason,
that rs the tenants could pay hut very
little Of heir taxes in money, the rest
had to be taken in "kind that is, in
cattle, corn, poultry, PIGS, or anything
else they mad; therefore, as the king
cou d not take ava" all these things,
he and hi, followers remained at each
place feastins, until they hal consum-
ed provisions equivalent to the ta&'s.
In the reign Of Henry H.. carpets
were not IN use, and it was considered
the helghl Of grandeur to have the
floors strewtd with clean straw or
rushes every morning..
Coats of arms We're brought into
fashion in the time Of Richard l.. and
were a'loptel thai the knights who
were c,srd in armor, might be known
bv the devices on their shields.
In the reign Of Henry Ill.,, a charter
was granted to the inhabitants Of New
castle, authorizing them to dig for coal,
which had not before been much used
for fuel; bu. it was a long time before
it came into general estimation. The
only peor e who purchased it for fuel
were brewers, dyrrs, and Others, who
required large fires. bse4uently the
use OF coal was forbidden on account of
lts smoke.
